I LOVE the way Cam's brain works, he heard the name Diesel and immediately thought what it would be like to have a daughter who brings home a guy called Diesel 🤣 protect this man at all costs 😆
If Stuart' s natural son had been born a girl wonder if they'd christened her Diesella ? or Jasonia Strathomia? Lol.I reckon he called that lad Diesil so the baby might shake it's mighty baby fist of terror to make Mathew behave ( he wishes;)
As a parent, you seem like such a genuinely incredible and thoughtful person. Your insights are always so spot on and empathetic, and if you ever choose to become a parent some day, I think you're going to be amazing at it.
According to Supernanny Wiki, sometime shortly after filming of the episode, the entire family was evicted from their apartment, citing that neither they nor the show's producers had permission from the former's landlord to tape the episode. The children had also wrecked the home by scribbling on the walls, ripping off the toilet seats, kicking holes in the walls, the family had a dog in the home which was against the rules so dog feces stained the floor which does explain the £5000 in damages you read out in the article. It also stated that the parents had divorced 5 years after filming the episode.
@Spindler2007 beyond not squeaky clean, NOT SANE, how on earth and the whole history of existence does someone let the place in which they are living in get that dirty and destroyed??? Let alone leave it like that
@@Sh12pen you're right there. It just shows that Supernanny's advice didn't work after all. I'd hate to think what the kids are like now after all these years.
The mum in this episode is just so infuriating. If she doesn't trust Stuart to discipline her child then why the hell are they together? All of this was her fault. How can someone say: "oh hes my baby i love him too much to discipline him" Like girl did you love it when he punched you in the lip? Did you like it when the middle gild started acting the same? People like this shouldnt be parents
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed from watching this show, it’s that the kids’ behaviour usually stems from their parents. Whether they’re not disciplining them *properly,* being too indulgent or being negligent, or there’s conflict in the family. It’s not too different with World’s Strictest Parents. The kids are either going through stuff that they don’t know how to deal with, or their parents aren’t being firm enough with them.
and, i hate to bring that in point but if you dont trust your partner to discipline the kid WHY THE HELL would you trust him around the kid? people do bad things to kids all the time if you dont think he's the dad i don't think he should be living with a child so small
You hit the nail on the head, little dude is definitely exhibiting signs of ASD. Lots of parents don’t bring their kids in for assessment because they can’t handle the reality that something is “wrong” with their kids. It really sets the kids up for failure.
Mine took me for the assessment and when it came back with autism, they promptly pretended it wasn't the case and never offered an ounce of empathy or support. Just called me names and blamed me.
Yea it's so stupid. They're putting their egos above their child. There are so many behavioral, emotions, and educational services they could and should get for him.
If I child is autistic, it’s not going to go away if they don’t get assessed. I know for myself growing up would have been a whole lot easier if I was diagnosed younger, because I spent my entire childhood feeling shitty about myself for not ‘trying hard enough’ at a lot of things to do with my autism, like socialising, because I was comparing myself to allistics
@@eternitae0_035I fully agree with you. I remember people suggesting I needed a little extra help as a kid and my mom was horrified by the accusation and never took it further. Now at 30 I sure wish I could have understood myself a lot sooner …
I'm a no social media 42 yr old dude, I watch your channel and I feel like an old grandma with a nice grandson who's keeping her up to date on the world outside her home 😂 nice one grandson 👊
16:54 I completely agree As a child with adhd (undiagnosed) people just thought I was naturally bad or the misbehaved sibling. Most of the discipline techniques worked on me. As an adult I can look back and realize that I was just a neurodivergent child that was just trying to find ways to express their emotions
Absolutely. And not letting his step father help is depriving him of a male authority figure in his life and it could lead him to being jealous of his siblings cause they are gonna get more of dad’s attention.
As someone with audhd and the parent of a very behavioral auhdhd child I would bet my kidneys many of the kids on these shows have something that needs diagnosing. They're just badly parented ontop of it sometimes too
As a first born who was never allowed to make mistakes because I was always somehow expected to “know better” being the oldest, I refute that we get an easier break than the others! We get all the main mistakes enacted on us too lol
As the first born of 4 kids I totally agree with you!! The baby of the kids gets the better treatment and it's all because us first born are a practice run.
You’re gonna be an f’ing amazing dad one day Cam… You’ve got more sense and insight, not even being a parent yet, than LOTS of parents do who’re raising multiple kids! ❤️🍩❤️

As someone who had been attacked by a brother armed with a butterknife, that thing can still cause a bruise with enough power. And sorry, not permitting the stepfather to discipline his stepson, that is not OK. It's sending the wrong message to the kids.
A 5 year old.... and they have 2 year old. So he's been with her since he was actually a baby. 5 is pretty much a baby, anyway. It's not like he's 15. She's making a huge mistake
I work in a school where all of the children struggle like this, had children send staff and each other to hospital but there is hope for them and many end up going back to mainstream when they go to year 7
I think the problem with a lot of these parents is they’re afraid to discipline their kids because in their minds, “discipline” = “corporal punishment”. It doesn’t have to be that extreme. As a parent of a toddler myself, I’m a big fan of the time-out method. In fact I’ve only had to use it once. Time-out isn’t supposed to be fun, and it wasn’t fun for him when I did it. Now all I have to do is ask if he wants to go in time out and he immediately corrects himself 😅
I agree with what Cam said about looking into developmental conditions. My mum used to watch supernanny when I was growing up, and having that kind of awareness on tv about it, maybe would have made my mum more open to getting me assessed as a child. Instead I got my autism diagnosis at 30 and I'm still struggling to get my life together and unlearn all those unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Yes!! The return of super nanny!! Absolutely LOVING this series. Love that cam empathises with the parents as well as harsh criticism. Rather than just blaming the child or parents. 10/10 best reactions on RUclips
I have a older half sister which my farther did provide for untill she was 18 & moved out, she never called him dad but he always said he has two daughters. The oldest does side more with the mother & the youngest is dad's. My friend was so close with her mother but had a distant relationship with her dad while her little sister would yell at there mother but sit on her dad's lap & stay beside him when he's home. I am a daddys girl, I'm proud to be one coz my dad knows he can trust me with tasks & invites me along with him on trips ect.
15:08 It does feel like the mum is sort of alienating/disrespecting Stuart and Matthew is picking up on it. Because she's not allowing Stuart to discipline him and he (Matthew) knows he'll get away with whatever he does. 25:16 its like they kinda scared to parent their own kids
Ok, so? I have known kids with ADHD and they were absolute sweethearts. Same with autism. That's no excuse for bad behavior. Most kids who had behavior issues usually came from homes where their parents are either fighting/divorce, or something similar to this where one parent undermines the other.
@natashaedwards8465 I mentioned it because Cam brought up that it's not mentioned ever in Super Nanny. Just pointing out this era of TV didn't have a discussion around neurodiversity
@@natashaedwards8465 It’s not an excuse, but it shows they might need extra help. ADHD and Autism are a spectrum, and some symptoms might lead to behavior issues if not addressed properly. Especially if the parents won’t discipline the child. Children don’t just know how to behave good, you gotta teach them. And children lash out cause they don’t know how to control their emotions, (especially neurodivergent kids), so you have to teach them.
@@natashaedwards8465so… a lot of kids who are undiagnosed act out and the parents might not have the knowledge or resources to know how to help or what the issue is
The British ones for some reason always seem SO much worse than the American ones. Why do we always seem so chavvy! I'm just grateful I've never seen a Scottish one... I think I'd run away lol.
I worked in a nursery for 2 years and have been a nanny for a year. I don’t really believe in discipline but understand setting boundaries at this stage if foundations haven’t been built from a young age. Like you say children understand more than we assume so we can teach boundaries and right and wrong from being a baby just from talking and role modelling. I started to look after the child I look after now at 7 months and if she couldn’t see what I was doing she would get upset like any child so you narrate and show. Like if she’s in the pram and I need to lock the door I say I’m going to lock the door and show the key etc and she just watches. She doesn’t cry anymore as I’m including her in what I’m doing and she understands what I’m doing and you can also explain why you are doing things too ✨
I teach upper - elementary students and it's very alarming how many parents don't parent their kids and think they can do no wrong. By the time they are preteens, this kind of behavior has escalated to the extent where it is very difficult to fix. I don't know how parents like this think that they're doing their kids any favors.
I love how empathetic you are to the families in these shows, please keep reacting to supernanny it’s lovely to see someone being so kind about this show. This era was full of family drama and kids lives being used for tv ratings - have you seen Brat Camp and That’ll Teach ‘Em?
I'm not really surprised that Stuart wasn't doing anything regarding Matthew. Laura made it pretty clear that she wanted to be the only one raising him.
They cannot test. If a child gets any private diagnosis the medication from that diagnosis would be full price private forever. Equally it isn't recognised by most school etc so they wouldn't get any help from it.
Super nanny was my mums go to threat when I was a child, at the time it terrified me but as I got older I wished she did. Bring back super nanny! My brother needs her now 😂😂
The one i'd say is the worst is one with the kids "River and Hunter" (terrible names, i know) and these kids are BAD, they fully hit, throw things, the dad even spent an hour fighting with one of them
As for names I can’t get upset about it because you know that the parents want the BEST name for their child they spend so much time deciding; or even regardless of time they are choosing what they think is beautiful, likeable,… for their child. I have to respect their choice and would feel terrible if a child overheard anyone saying their name was “ bad, wrong, silly,…. Yeah it’s their name. One shouldn’t speak negatively about it. We are the adults we shouldn’t be acting/speaking as a misbehaving child. There are parents who try to be “cute” when naming their kids. A game show once had a family with the last name Green and the kids were like Leif, Forest, Kelly etc. Here’s one for you -a friend of a relative of mine had a daughter and her last name was Haven -pronounced with a long A sound and short e sound ( Hay-v”eh”n) Ok so she named her daughter Bea ( Bee) - hence she was Miss B Haven misbehavin ’ (misbehaving) Imagine the police ask for your name and she says I’m Miss Bea Haven ( with a slur) 😂😂True story 🤣🤣🤣
See the first problem with this entire situation is that 'Step Dad' is not allowed to reprimand the terror child. That's a problem in the core relationship of the adults. The mother married him and they now have a blended family, but being the father figure he SHOULD have a say in how the children behave and how they are reprimanded. It's all part of his life now so that's a big red flag there in the first place. If Biological dad isn't there in the picture especially, then that child needs a stern father figure and Step Dad should be involved in the life of that child. Big time red flag there in the very relationship of Mom and Step Dad. And that's likely where it all trickles down from.
I know it’s a joke but it’s never the kids fault it’s the parents fault kids aren’t evil u know in 99.9999% of cases it’s incompetence and laziness of parents
This guy's got dad energy his first thought was imagine if you had a daughter, my country needs this guy to advocate for the women so caring and thoughtful it's making me cry a little!! where's your mumma I want to thank her for how you are.
It kind of gave me chills hearing Supernanny keep saying 'you're stronger than him' even in front of the kid. Really imbedding the idea that it's fine to do whatever as long as you're stronger, I'm sure that won't go wrong when that weak child grows up and gets stronger than others around him
To me whenever I see something like this, I get depressed thinking about seeing these kids today. Would make me feel really old seeing how they look now. A good example is seeing a modern photo of the baby face who was in the sun in teletubbies
I love the Supernanny episodes you post... I grew up watching this show so when I had my 1st daughter at 21 (she is now almost 13), I already had so many techniques in the bag ready to use as she got older - and, YES, they all work very well! At 26, I had my second (and final) daughter (she is now 7) and I use many techniques with her also, though it's slightly different because she has autism and ADHD. I agree with what you said about Supernanny maybe implementing techniques and resources that help children with Autism and ADHD better their behaviour as they can truly be a handful. But the chill out chair/naughty step or, as I use with my teenager as she's too old for the naughty step/stool, she has reflection time. I do wish that she would have used things to help parents with children who have Autism and ADHD because I'm winging it lol. I love being a parent and I could not imagine treating one better than the other. Kids need to be treat with equal love, attention and care. There is a 5 year gap between my girls and it never used to really show or matter but now the older one is a teenager, she wants nothing to do with my 7 year old - with my youngest having a slight delay with brain-age, they don't really see eye to eye, they argue a lot and avoid each other (the teen avoids more like) it's tough being a parent!! BUT I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH - however, discipline (without laying a hand on a child - including spanking) is definitely a must - they are your children and they seek guidance from you, patience from you and learning from you, and it is important to help them along their growing-up journey. Having a schedule and a routine is SUPER IMPORTANT!!! Children need STRUCTURE along with the love and care. I LOVE being a parent, and it is thanks to Supernanny that I've had such. good run of things with behaviour and attitude with my girls!!
My 18 year old daughter goes out with a lad called Ted and his brother is called Diesel and ur assumptions about him and the family are 💯 correct 🙈🤦♀️🤣
When we heard the voiceover about the father being sad about “losing” his daughter to Laura, right after you’d said about her not wanting to share her son, I had my screen off and I thought you were putting in a joke. Imagine the record scratch when I realized that was the real audio 😂 I’m a relatively new subscriber but I love your videos, and your perspective on Supernanny episodes! Thanks for the laughs!
I remember this Supernanny episode. Watched it as a stepmom (and former nanny) back when it originally aired. Was super lucky with a sweet stepson but was weirded out by the mom's over the top attitude towards her first born. Everyone loves their kids but this mom is weirdly attached to the boy. Mom needs therapy to foster a healthy mindset towards her son. Hugs from central Ontario Canada
For anyone curious about an update regarding them, as mentioned by a pervious comment, the Supernanny wiki states this. Shortly after the episode was filmed, the entire family was evicted from their apartment, citing that neither they nor the show's producers had permission from the former's landlord to tape the episode. The children have also wrecked the home by scribbling on the walls, ripping off the toilet seats, kicking holes in the walls, the family had a dog in the home which was against the rules so dog feces stained the floor. Laura and Stuart divorced in 2009-2010 I hope this helps anyone interested. Brilliant vid Cam, one of my fav youtubers.
I fully believe that most women will tell men they dont get to parent because men like to act like they cant or dont know how to help ot do anything right. They will intentionally do it. So they never have to help again and some women will cut men off of duties because its easier. And if he really had an issue with it then he would have stood up to her so he wants to be lazy.
Cam just enjoying his smoothie while watching the clips is me sometimes 😂 this was a good super nanny video i remember always seeing bits of it on TV when I was younger but getting a full deep dive in these videos are always interesting to me also cam what's your favorite kind of smoothie? Have a good day 😊
These two should never of had kids they haven't got a clue . Kids are of property to argue over who's each belongs to . And what about the third child is that one just the spare
I don’t think they diagnose psychopathy in children but maybe they should. Just check if a certain part of his brain is missing. It would make his behaviour understandable and possibly easier to guide in another direction.
Knowing now from the comments that Supernanny wasn’t even allowed to film in the home, I wonder if that’s happened other times, like that she’s filmed in places she hasn’t been allowed to film in? I also wonder how much better off the families she “helps” are cause it seems like most of them get divorced, hurt, or there are other problems that happen.
Yeah when I hear them say she's yet to meet a child who'll best her or whatever it says makes me wonder are there clips never aired of times she took it to far and the parents realise they made a mistake bringing in a stranger to tell there kids what to do rather than just parenting better
@ I personally would like to know that too, because the show portrays Jo as a woman who can do no wrong, but we know that isn’t true. She’s human, she’s made mistakes, but all the problems are put on the parents, and only treating things seemingly on the surface.
yesss please react to more also idk if you know but on a free streaming service tubi (could be more out there that stream the show that streaming service is just where i found it) there's another series she made that's Jo Frost: nanny on tour and its really good although there's one episode where a boy has learning disability's and lets just say it get really sad and dark because of how the parents treat him when the film crew isn't around only the cameras that are set up in the house and yeah if you cover it id recommend leaving in what she says and your own explanation and not showing the video as its very sad but yeah, this is my favourite series and i love watching you cover it so i thought id let you know that she has another series, p.s she doesn't go there in her classic black taxi but now uses a motorhome bus.
i dont think he can legally stream from tubi, he has to find the episodes on youtube because then theres less of a chance of him being flagged for copyright
@ yeah well that’s why I said it’s probably somewhere else but I haven’t looked it up so I’m not entirely sure but yeah I just thought I’d give him a recommendation since it was made a bit later and for him it’s we the methods that she still uses and how she reacts and stuff but yeah it’s just a little bit different
It's not nice to not discipline your kids its crippling them. They won't be able to function in society, loving a kid too much means you don't set them up to fail. Obviously they love him but I don't think that's why he's not disciplined
Agree. Learning boundaries and consequences of your actions, how to communicate, and self manage feelings are al things that start within the family unit. Not teaching and reinforcing the reality of living in a world with other human beings will not set a child up well for school, making friends or the whole rest of their life as an adult. It's a cruelty to let a child think that outside the front door, the world will tolerate everything they can get away with at home.
This is quickly becoming my favourite show to react to! Drop a like if you want us to keep making these x
YES PLS LOL i watch super nanny with my nana (grandma) all the time because she likes it ig so anyways I really enjoy these videos they are so funny
@CamKirkham Yes, cam!! AND THE WIFE SWAPPP!
I used to not find supernanny. Then you come along with your gordie accent and make it one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched.
Please!!
Yayyyyy
Love that the mum thought a stranger with a TV crew was more appropriate to parent her son than her own husband
Very good point!!
Love this
Why would you get with someone who you don't want to be involved with your child is what gets me??
Yes! And I'm guessing they aren't homeschooled or isolated. What happens with other authority figures in this child’s life?😢
I LOVE the way Cam's brain works, he heard the name Diesel and immediately thought what it would be like to have a daughter who brings home a guy called Diesel 🤣 protect this man at all costs 😆
Still thinking about it now
Unless his first name is vin and hes from the movies its not happening
If Stuart' s natural son had been born a girl wonder if they'd christened her Diesella ? or Jasonia Strathomia? Lol.I reckon he called that lad Diesil so the baby might shake it's mighty baby fist of terror to make Mathew behave ( he wishes;)
I sometimes dont even like it when someone calls his dog Diesel.. so who in his right mind calls his kid Diesel😭😭
'at all costs' so you'd give up your life, your family, etc to protect someone you don't know because you saw them on RUclips?
Ew.

As a child with adhd (undiagnosed) people just thought I was naturally bad or the misbehaved sibling. Most of the discipline techniques worked on me. As an adult I can look back and realize that I was just a neurodivergent child that was just trying to find ways to express their emotions
"i love him too much to discipline him" lady, that's WHY we discipline our children! BECAUSE we love them! 🙈
The mom is a pure enabler in this episode
Absolutely. And not letting his step father help is depriving him of a male authority figure in his life and it could lead him to being jealous of his siblings cause they are gonna get more of dad’s attention.
First born daughter often have diff experiences than first sons
Cam Kirkham’s thumbnails are my sleep paralysis demons at 3am
They’re mine too
Real
As someone with audhd and the parent of a very behavioral auhdhd child I would bet my kidneys many of the kids on these shows have something that needs diagnosing. They're just badly parented ontop of it sometimes too
As a first born who was never allowed to make mistakes because I was always somehow expected to “know better” being the oldest, I refute that we get an easier break than the others! We get all the main mistakes enacted on us too lol
THIS! It is not easy being the pancake child!!
Usually the older one has to watch younger siblings and gets punished if they (the siblings) do something wrong.
You misunderstand, he saying second born kids get to do what they want
@@Xanti97 I kinda saw it as double edged lol
As the first born of 4 kids I totally agree with you!! The baby of the kids gets the better treatment and it's all because us first born are a practice run.
We should’ve watched episodes of ‘Super Nanny’ when studying the Sociology of Relationships and Family. There’s so much to unpack.
100% ! You can actually learn a lot
You’re gonna be an f’ing amazing dad one day Cam…

@CamKirkham yeah definitely, like they must have left that information out for a reason and that's fair, still interesting tho
In the UK version, they said Matthews dad moved away when he was one

Or some help with restraint techniques
As someone who had been attacked by a brother armed with a butterknife, that thing can still cause a bruise with enough power.
And sorry, not permitting the stepfather to discipline his stepson, that is not OK. It's sending the wrong message to the kids.
A 5 year old.... and they have 2 year old. So he's been with her since he was actually a baby. 5 is pretty much a baby, anyway. It's not like he's 15. She's making a huge mistake
I work in a school where all of the children struggle like this, had children send staff and each other to hospital but there is hope for them and many end up going back to mainstream when they go to year 7
It seems like they aren’t secure in the relationship and want to stop their children getting attached in case they separate
I think the problem with a lot of these parents is they’re afraid to discipline their kids because in their minds, “discipline” = “corporal punishment”. It doesn’t have to be that extreme. As a parent of a toddler myself, I’m a big fan of the time-out method. In fact I’ve only had to use it once. Time-out isn’t supposed to be fun, and it wasn’t fun for him when I did it. Now all I have to do is ask if he wants to go in time out and he immediately corrects himself 😅
Now imagine being a teacher of that boy, displaying that behaviour /violence and every time you approached the parent you get no support at all!
as an autistic person who grew up in the catholic church, all this talk about demons and exorcisms is bringing back some great memories :D
I agree with what Cam said about looking into developmental conditions. My mum used to watch supernanny when I was growing up, and having that kind of awareness on tv about it, maybe would have made my mum more open to getting me assessed as a child. Instead I got my autism diagnosis at 30 and I'm still struggling to get my life together and unlearn all those unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Swear Cam always makes my day better no matter how bad it is
Yes it cheers one up just to hear him talk. Cheers me up anyway 😊👍
Yes!! The return of super nanny!! Absolutely LOVING this series. Love that cam empathises with the parents as well as harsh criticism. Rather than just blaming the child or parents. 10/10 best reactions on RUclips

I have a older half sister which my farther did provide for untill she was 18 & moved out, she never called him dad but he always said he has two daughters. The oldest does side more with the mother & the youngest is dad's. My friend was so close with her mother but had a distant relationship with her dad while her little sister would yell at there mother but sit on her dad's lap & stay beside him when he's home. I am a daddys girl, I'm proud to be one coz my dad knows he can trust me with tasks & invites me along with him on trips ect.
4:37 Last born here and I got away with a lot of stuff but also somehow was very well behaved, anxious and felt like everything was my fault 😂😂
YESSS I LOVE CAMS SUPERNANNY REACTIONS
15:08 It does feel like the mum is sort of alienating/disrespecting Stuart and Matthew is picking up on it.
Because she's not allowing Stuart to discipline him and he (Matthew) knows he'll get away with whatever he does.
25:16 its like they kinda scared to parent their own kids
Super Nanny was definitely pre openly talking about ADHD and autism and it SHOWS when you watch them back!
Ok, so? I have known kids with ADHD and they were absolute sweethearts. Same with autism. That's no excuse for bad behavior. Most kids who had behavior issues usually came from homes where their parents are either fighting/divorce, or something similar to this where one parent undermines the other.
@natashaedwards8465 I mentioned it because Cam brought up that it's not mentioned ever in Super Nanny. Just pointing out this era of TV didn't have a discussion around neurodiversity
Idk if you meant it, but that 'ok, so?' sounded really rude. The other mother above you was just politely making a point
@@natashaedwards8465
It’s not an excuse, but it shows they might need extra help. ADHD and Autism are a spectrum, and some symptoms might lead to behavior issues if not addressed properly.
Especially if the parents won’t discipline the child. Children don’t just know how to behave good, you gotta teach them. And children lash out cause they don’t know how to control their emotions, (especially neurodivergent kids), so you have to teach them.
@@natashaedwards8465so… a lot of kids who are undiagnosed act out and the parents might not have the knowledge or resources to know how to help or what the issue is
You only popped up a week ago but ive watched shitloads of videos already you're absolutely brilliant
🙏🏻❤️
The British ones for some reason always seem SO much worse than the American ones. Why do we always seem so chavvy! I'm just grateful I've never seen a Scottish one... I think I'd run away lol.
I agree! I wonder if it’s because it seems more relatable which makes it seem worse?
I was a troublesome kid when I was younger and my mum used to threaten me with super nanny
1:14 Watching this knowing I once brought home a boy named diesel 👁️👄👁️
0:58 A child with the same name of a Thomas character, Devious Diesel!
I wonder if you have seen the movie Bullet Train? If you have then you'd get the reference to Diesel in that movie. 😄
I worked in a nursery for 2 years and have been a nanny for a year. I don’t really believe in discipline but understand setting boundaries at this stage if foundations haven’t been built from a young age. Like you say children understand more than we assume so we can teach boundaries and right and wrong from being a baby just from talking and role modelling. I started to look after the child I look after now at 7 months and if she couldn’t see what I was doing she would get upset like any child so you narrate and show. Like if she’s in the pram and I need to lock the door I say I’m going to lock the door and show the key etc and she just watches. She doesn’t cry anymore as I’m including her in what I’m doing and she understands what I’m doing and you can also explain why you are doing things too ✨
“i say bloke he’s literally like 6”
i’m dying 😭 😭
I teach upper - elementary students and it's very alarming how many parents don't parent their kids and think they can do no wrong. By the time they are preteens, this kind of behavior has escalated to the extent where it is very difficult to fix. I don't know how parents like this think that they're doing their kids any favors.
POV: him "hello you gorgeous donuts
POV: me eating a jam donut
🤨🤨🤨
You are what you eat 🤷♀️😂
I love how empathetic you are to the families in these shows, please keep reacting to supernanny it’s lovely to see someone being so kind about this show. This era was full of family drama and kids lives being used for tv ratings - have you seen Brat Camp and That’ll Teach ‘Em?
Why isnt he allowed to discipline that child? Sounds crazy to me as a stepdad. Ship him off to his biological father for a while
Babe wake up Cam Kirkham is reacting to ‘Horrid Henry’ Live Action remake.
I'm not really surprised that Stuart wasn't doing anything regarding Matthew. Laura made it pretty clear that she wanted to be the only one raising him.
Hi Cam, I just wanted to say i love your videos, and they are a great addition to my dinner, aha.
They cannot test. If a child gets any private diagnosis the medication from that diagnosis would be full price private forever. Equally it isn't recognised by most school etc so they wouldn't get any help from it.
It's the mothers fault.
Only 40 seconds in but the cup becoming part of the hand movement was killing me 😭
So quirky isn’t it
Needed this Thursday night treat tonight won't lie 🙌
Super nanny was my mums go to threat when I was a child, at the time it terrified me but as I got older I wished she did. Bring back super nanny! My brother needs her now 😂😂
The one i'd say is the worst is one with the kids "River and Hunter" (terrible names, i know) and these kids are BAD, they fully hit, throw things, the dad even spent an hour fighting with one of them
As for names I can’t get upset about it because you know that the parents want the BEST name for their child they spend so much time deciding; or even regardless of time they are choosing what they think is beautiful, likeable,… for their child. I have to respect their choice and would feel terrible if a child overheard anyone saying their name was “ bad, wrong, silly,…. Yeah it’s their name. One shouldn’t speak negatively about it. We are the adults we shouldn’t be acting/speaking as a misbehaving child. There are parents who try to be “cute” when naming their kids. A game show once had a family with the last name Green and the kids were like Leif, Forest, Kelly etc. Here’s one for you -a friend of a relative of mine had a daughter and her last name was Haven -pronounced with a long A sound and short e sound ( Hay-v”eh”n)
Ok so she named her daughter Bea ( Bee) - hence she was
Miss B Haven misbehavin ’ (misbehaving) Imagine the police ask for your name and she says I’m Miss Bea Haven ( with a slur) 😂😂True story 🤣🤣🤣
Cam deserves more attention I fear
See the first problem with this entire situation is that 'Step Dad' is not allowed to reprimand the terror child. That's a problem in the core relationship of the adults. The mother married him and they now have a blended family, but being the father figure he SHOULD have a say in how the children behave and how they are reprimanded. It's all part of his life now so that's a big red flag there in the first place. If Biological dad isn't there in the picture especially, then that child needs a stern father figure and Step Dad should be involved in the life of that child. Big time red flag there in the very relationship of Mom and Step Dad. And that's likely where it all trickles down from.
i love your videos so much thanks for uploading I needed this today
Just come back from a bad school trip, supernany + cam kirkham = good ending
I’m sick right now and feeling crappy but thanks for posting Cam! U make my day better ❤😁
I know it’s a joke but it’s never the kids fault it’s the parents fault kids aren’t evil u know in 99.9999% of cases it’s incompetence and laziness of parents
Can never stop the cam kirkham grind!!!
So, he can work to put food on the table, clothes on her kid's back and a roof over his head but can't have any input on disciplining her kid, nice.
This guy's got dad energy his first thought was imagine if you had a daughter, my country needs this guy to advocate for the women so caring and thoughtful it's making me cry a little!! where's your mumma I want to thank her for how you are.
I'm supposed to be studying right now. But who can resist a Cam Kirkham Supernanny reaction?
21:48 whhaaaaaaat 😮😲
26:40 the gaslighting 😂
It kind of gave me chills hearing Supernanny keep saying 'you're stronger than him' even in front of the kid. Really imbedding the idea that it's fine to do whatever as long as you're stronger, I'm sure that won't go wrong when that weak child grows up and gets stronger than others around him
To me whenever I see something like this, I get depressed thinking about seeing these kids today. Would make me feel really old seeing how they look now. A good example is seeing a modern photo of the baby face who was in the sun in teletubbies
i love supporting small creators
such an indie youtuber, i hope he gets over 100 subs soon
evenin
Love a cam video after a hard day 🤍
Supernanny seems like it should be wholesome, but is so chaotic
I love the Supernanny episodes you post... I grew up watching this show so when I had my 1st daughter at 21 (she is now almost 13), I already had so many techniques in the bag ready to use as she got older - and, YES, they all work very well! At 26, I had my second (and final) daughter (she is now 7) and I use many techniques with her also, though it's slightly different because she has autism and ADHD.
I agree with what you said about Supernanny maybe implementing techniques and resources that help children with Autism and ADHD better their behaviour as they can truly be a handful. But the chill out chair/naughty step or, as I use with my teenager as she's too old for the naughty step/stool, she has reflection time. I do wish that she would have used things to help parents with children who have Autism and ADHD because I'm winging it lol.
I love being a parent and I could not imagine treating one better than the other. Kids need to be treat with equal love, attention and care. There is a 5 year gap between my girls and it never used to really show or matter but now the older one is a teenager, she wants nothing to do with my 7 year old - with my youngest having a slight delay with brain-age, they don't really see eye to eye, they argue a lot and avoid each other (the teen avoids more like) it's tough being a parent!! BUT I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH - however, discipline (without laying a hand on a child - including spanking) is definitely a must - they are your children and they seek guidance from you, patience from you and learning from you, and it is important to help them along their growing-up journey. Having a schedule and a routine is SUPER IMPORTANT!!! Children need STRUCTURE along with the love and care.
I LOVE being a parent, and it is thanks to Supernanny that I've had such. good run of things with behaviour and attitude with my girls!!
Oh, and my children would never lay a hand on myself or their father because they have RESPECT for us.
Good for you hun
2:13 their own fault😂 no bad children only bad parents. Simple.
My 18 year old daughter goes out with a lad called Ted and his brother is called Diesel and ur assumptions about him and the family are 💯 correct 🙈🤦♀️🤣
Yesss! Love your reacting to tv shows like Supernanny content
This is how a sociopath is made. Well done to the mother for building a monster.
Supernanny is the best kind of fever dream
When we heard the voiceover about the father being sad about “losing” his daughter to Laura, right after you’d said about her not wanting to share her son, I had my screen off and I thought you were putting in a joke. Imagine the record scratch when I realized that was the real audio 😂 I’m a relatively new subscriber but I love your videos, and your perspective on Supernanny episodes! Thanks for the laughs!
I remember this Supernanny episode. Watched it as a stepmom (and former nanny) back when it originally aired. Was super lucky with a sweet stepson but was weirded out by the mom's over the top attitude towards her first born. Everyone loves their kids but this mom is weirdly attached to the boy. Mom needs therapy to foster a healthy mindset towards her son. Hugs from central Ontario Canada
this video is keeping me entertained during detention 🙏
For anyone curious about an update regarding them, as mentioned by a pervious comment, the Supernanny wiki states this.
Shortly after the episode was filmed, the entire family was evicted from their apartment, citing that neither they nor the show's producers had permission from the former's landlord to tape the episode. The children have also wrecked the home by scribbling on the walls, ripping off the toilet seats, kicking holes in the walls, the family had a dog in the home which was against the rules so dog feces stained the floor.
Laura and Stuart divorced in 2009-2010
I hope this helps anyone interested.
Brilliant vid Cam, one of my fav youtubers.
4:42 ahem, yes. I know what you mean. *Thomas Shelby stare into the distance* 😂😨
I love Supernanny but got to say your commentary is absolutely hilarious! 😂you have brightened my very dull day, thanks so much x
Cam always makes me smile after school ❤
I fully believe that most women will tell men they dont get to parent because men like to act like they cant or dont know how to help ot do anything right. They will intentionally do it. So they never have to help again and some women will cut men off of duties because its easier. And if he really had an issue with it then he would have stood up to her so he wants to be lazy.
Cam just enjoying his smoothie while watching the clips is me sometimes 😂 this was a good super nanny video i remember always seeing bits of it on TV when I was younger but getting a full deep dive in these videos are always interesting to me also cam what's your favorite kind of smoothie? Have a good day 😊
I don't think they're selfish I just think they might have a bit of insecurity about about about losing their kids
I LOVE these reviews!!! You make me laugh along literally Outloud at your comments! Ty!!! Keep em going!!!!
Love these supernanny videos cam! Great work as always!
These two should never of had kids they haven't got a clue . Kids are of property to argue over who's each belongs to . And what about the third child is that one just the spare
I don’t think they diagnose psychopathy in children but maybe they should. Just check if a certain part of his brain is missing. It would make his behaviour understandable and possibly easier to guide in another direction.
I picture Matthew in his 40s, having to use the chill out chair in the corner. Thank you for sharing this.
Knowing now from the comments that Supernanny wasn’t even allowed to film in the home, I wonder if that’s happened other times, like that she’s filmed in places she hasn’t been allowed to film in? I also wonder how much better off the families she “helps” are cause it seems like most of them get divorced, hurt, or there are other problems that happen.
Yeah when I hear them say she's yet to meet a child who'll best her or whatever it says makes me wonder are there clips never aired of times she took it to far and the parents realise they made a mistake bringing in a stranger to tell there kids what to do rather than just parenting better
@ I personally would like to know that too, because the show portrays Jo as a woman who can do no wrong, but we know that isn’t true. She’s human, she’s made mistakes, but all the problems are put on the parents, and only treating things seemingly on the surface.
yesss please react to more also idk if you know but on a free streaming service tubi (could be more out there that stream the show that streaming service is just where i found it) there's another series she made that's Jo Frost: nanny on tour and its really good although there's one episode where a boy has learning disability's and lets just say it get really sad and dark because of how the parents treat him when the film crew isn't around only the cameras that are set up in the house and yeah if you cover it id recommend leaving in what she says and your own explanation and not showing the video as its very sad but yeah, this is my favourite series and i love watching you cover it so i thought id let you know that she has another series, p.s she doesn't go there in her classic black taxi but now uses a motorhome bus.
i dont think he can legally stream from tubi, he has to find the episodes on youtube because then theres less of a chance of him being flagged for copyright
@ yeah well that’s why I said it’s probably somewhere else but I haven’t looked it up so I’m not entirely sure but yeah I just thought I’d give him a recommendation since it was made a bit later and for him it’s we the methods that she still uses and how she reacts and stuff but yeah it’s just a little bit different
It's not nice to not discipline your kids its crippling them. They won't be able to function in society, loving a kid too much means you don't set them up to fail. Obviously they love him but I don't think that's why he's not disciplined
Agree. Learning boundaries and consequences of your actions, how to communicate, and self manage feelings are al things that start within the family unit. Not teaching and reinforcing the reality of living in a world with other human beings will not set a child up well for school, making friends or the whole rest of their life as an adult. It's a cruelty to let a child think that outside the front door, the world will tolerate everything they can get away with at home.
Great video Kam, now that you've mentioned skins I would love a skins reaction video! It would be hilarious to look back on that show :)
Everyone needs there daily dose of cam
